2025 Cadillac CT5 Premium Luxury 3.0T: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@stephencooper3583]

I really like this. Glad Cadillac is still making a nice sedan instead of just SUVs.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Couldn’t agree more! 👍🏼

[@judisabino]

Great review, love this ct5 , I’m actually going to be purchasing this vehicle in sport trim . Great styling and enough performance.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Sounds like a sweet car, good luck with it! 👍🏼

[@gordoeinstein]

The new CT5 is just awesome! Saw it in person while awaiting service at my local dealership. It reminds me of BMW when BMW was at its best.

Thanks for watching! Hit the subscribe button if you’re new and stay tuned for the next reviews of the 2024 Escalade ESV and 2024 CT5-V Blackwing!

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

I keep my eyes open for those videos!

[@thetruthspeaker5101]

I wish these car reviewers would stop saying just “50 or 60 thousand dollars”. The technology in these cars and heater & ventilated seats is older technology. All these car makers are doing is giving us crappy electric cars and cars with small engines and a tablet as speedometer and infotainment system which is older technology. So why are we paying these prices for less of a car

[@ToddSwickard-u9k]

I am going to build mine when the order banks open for the 2025 CT5 V Typhoon. Test drove the 2024 CT5 V and loved it for what it is. Can't justify the Blackwing living in Colorado as a daily

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

I am in love with this car & I buy this 1 day.

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Amazing review Will.

[@saranrathakrish8468]

I would choose this over the Acura TLX

[@WTFCRLT1]

100%. Even over the Type S 👍🏼

[@Iambetterthanyouanduknowit]

Lmao the Acura is gonna be way more reliable

[@tharris7919]

If only Cadillac would put this engine in the XT5 and XT6.

[@chefcjnobles1680]

Well those two vehicles are on the way out so why bother?

[@chrisb9475]

Great Vid I Have A 2021 CT5 With The Same Engine This Car Is A Sleeper And The 20in Wheels Compliments The Exterior Of The Car You Have See These Rims In Person

[@WTFCRLT1]

Agreed! Sounds like an awesome car man good luck with it!! 👍🏼

[@chefcjnobles1680]

Negative. The Alpha Platform was designed for Cadillac. Not Camaro. Cadillac debuted the Alpha platform first in Summer of 2012 for the First ever 2013 Cadillac ATS. The following year, 2013, it was used for the All new 2014 Cadillac CTS. Camaro came out for 2010 and it used the Zeta platform. Camaro moved to the Alpha platform for 2016-2024. Camaro is now dead and Alpha is only used for Cadillac again in the CT4 and CT5. It was designed for Cadillac. Chevy borrowed it. Not the other way around.

[@LUVBYFEWHATEDBYMANY777]

Cadillac needs 2 release the 2024/2025 CT6 PLATINUM SUPERCRUISE in North America not only China... I have a 2019 Ct6 platinum super cruise, and had a 2017 Ct6 platinum. The 2019 and up CT6 design is still unique, that China released newer 2024/2025 Ct6 platinum super cruise is far greater...Cadillac bring back the 2024/2025 Ct6 platinum super cruise to North America 🦾💯🎯🫡

[@Luckimee]

Just ship it lol

[@evoemperor3776]

Companies aren't selling a product for small crowd

[@RfrancisR]

Yeah, China buys more Cadillacs and more sedans than Americans do. Do I thing the new generation in China should get the real black wing engine and sent to the US? Yeah, but Cadillac/GM don’t see enough US buyers to justify it.

[@scottdavis_34]

Hey Will! What a surprise this one is! Obviously it’s not the V but I’d be perfectly happy in this one!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Hey Scott! I’d probably take this over a regular V as well 👍🏼

[@chrisdeal2059]

Excellent review!

[@davidmordecai9890]

Watched for 10 minutes and not one criticism. This is not a review…it’s an advertisement.

[@MrMashman93]

Great review as always WTF. Will there be a 2025 Blackwing offering CTV4/CTV5? Just curious

[@chadmark88]

I read that the "V" versions will be released later ( I didn't see a date )

[@MrMashman93]

@@chadmark88 Thank you much appreciated

[@jayfromthebay9795]

@@chadmark88I have my CT5 V on order with my dealership so yes the V series and Blackwing are available for 2025

[@mikebluee]

I just bought a 2025 ct5. My screen has a gold outline, is that normal

[@rueben44]

I don't think that is faux carbon they usually don't do that. Great car I mean they have been knocking out of the park.

[@Hoosier-u4w]

Nice job on the video (very thorough) ! Does this Caddy require premium fuel ?

[@AMO1921]

Excellent presentation

[@AJ_76421]

Dude reviewed ride quality, throttle response, steering feel, and turbo quality before he even left the parking lot or hit over 10mph… hell at up to 20mph there ain’t much difference between a Prius and a Bugatti, can’t judge a car before you even hit the road, good or bad 😂

[@ZahavaEversley]

En el momento en que vi el bolso kislux , supe que tenía que tenerlo.

[@jugerknott09]

I'm thinking about purchasing this vehicle. I want mines everthing blacked out.

[@Myfriendvinny]

Can't get it. You would have to go with the sport but then you can't get the 3.0. You would have to step up to the V but then you would get more performance but you can't that interior or the 20 inch wheels and its more expensive.

[@Luckimee]

​@@Myfriendvinny they can. They can get black interior and get whatever wheels they want. It's only a couple hundred to tint the front windows

[@Myfriendvinny]

@@Luckimee You can't get the blacked-out body trim except on the sport or V models. With the sport you can't get the 3.0 and the V models you can't get 20-inch wheels.

[@imgorgeous03]

How is there no ambient lighting for a car that is in this class/ range!!!!

[@icecube-x]

When can we buy the car?

[@georgekoelsch3641]

I am finally going to get myself a Cadillac. I loved cadillac when i saw a 1968 Cadillac coup de ville. Don't know what to get the ct5 or the suv. Depends what the wife wants. I just said I wanted a caddy.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Definitely drive both, but if you’re looking for something with good performance, the Cadillac SUV’s can’t compete with this CT5 with the 3.0T. Maybe if they put this motor in the XT5 and Maybe XT6 but it looks like they’re sticking with the 3.6. Which is still a good motor it just depends what you’re looking for. Good luck! 👍🏼

[@Mohammedaagh]

Nice car it was in my mind, but some people actually had ct5 20-24 and most of them complaining about the transmission shudder which is absolutely a big NO NO for me. An expensive luxury car should never shudder.

[@cad1llacstatus]

In the 2.0T👎

[@Mohammedaagh]

@@cad1llacstatus You tryna say that issue doesn't exist in the 3.0T?

[@cad1llacstatus]

@@Mohammedaagh yes..no issues

[@richardbeckmann6720]

If the touch screen goes out It could cost Thousands to get it fixed or repealed.

[@moseszarnighian4204]

CT5 or G80?

[@TheKenington]

I can’t figure out your need to align aspects of this ultra premium Cadillac vehicle with the down market Camaro????. Those of us who buy and drive Cadillacs are a bit snobbish about our Cadillac brand. No other American make is ‘like’ a Cadillac. (That’s how we feel anyway). Imagine talking about an S Class and comparing certain aspects of it with some other brand. S Class snobs would be unhappy about that no matter what the other brand was. Just something to point out. Good job!

[@machineland2]

I'm ready to trade my 23 for this...Get me mine in black and super Cruise please!

[@ELP1125]

The screen is nice, but Cadillac interiors still aren't up to par for a luxury brand IMO. The exteriors are always high class tho. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Luckimee]

They have the best interior period

[@WTFCRLT1]

This interior is miles ahead! 👍🏼

[@armelburgess8651]

No, Mercedes interiors are distracting and way overdone. I get what they were going for but sometimes enough is enough. This has just what you need and nothing that you don't/

[@lupeesparza2434]

That’s a V6 for $51k?

[@apkn1955]

335 HP ? I drove one with 360 HP. Same engine, transmission.

[@ahmedutuber]

I Like curved displays as BMW

[@daviddawe7315]

Too bad it's not available with the 6.2 V-8

[@mrreginator]

blackwing comes with a v8, but double the price lol

[@testtube173]

Nah this isn't it. This looks more like an Audi or something non-cadillac like what they had going.

[@AntLive29]

those wheels look like they belong on the chevy equinox

[@CapELarry]

11:15 Why this car isn’t successful: the ubiquitous Cadillac dealer markup/addendum sticker.

[@WTFCRLT1]

It was just wheel locks and tints maybe a couple other small things. I think $995 total which isn’t marked up terribly. I’m sure could get negotiated away and then some 👍🏼

[@ontarioman6301]

Maybe reliability and options are expensive 😂

[@dannyfierro3870]

High insurance, new arrivals cruise. Every. Neighborhood looking. To steal vehicles like this,its world were in. Safer and cheaper with lower profile vehicle,save money. Its to nice.

[@Salari_Cars]

The only problem with Cadillac cars and a number of new generation Audi cars is the same curved screen that both sides of the screen are very curved towards the driver, BMW cars have curved screens, but they are much prettier and simpler.

[@WTFCRLT1]

I like Audis screens, but the new Idrive8 systems touch screen controls for the climate aren’t quite as simple in my opinion as this new Cadillac display with the separate buttons for climate control.

[@georgetaylor1063]

But at the end of the day, it’s unfortunately still a GM.

[@mjerome1457]

But it’s still dated, poor resale value with the WORST vehicles names EVER..CT5 550t German crap!!
